DNA test ALLEN Family from Tennessee (TN)

Y-DNA test results for male descendants of my Allens who settled in Maury Co., TN in the early 1800's can be viewed on www.familytreedna.com under kit #75846 in the Allen project.Evidence suggests that this family may be from Joseph Allin from Virginia who settled in Moore Co., NC in the latter half of the 1700's.

To date, however, there have been no exact matches with other Allens or variants thereof.I assume that researchers with well-proven lines will see no need to have their dna's tested.For the rest of us, ydna, which must mean "You're desperate now, aren'tya?" is a way to link with others with similar backgrounds in a very scientific manner, albeit without the requisite paper trail.I have learned that my earliest Allen ancestor was a Celtic tribesman of haplogroup R1b1c of the type that settled in parts of Ireland, Scotland, the French coast and the Iberian Peninsula about 10,000 years ago.This is also borne out by near matches in my ydna with people from all those areas today.
